A Gasoline Powered Car Engine that Didn't have a Battery 07 03 2019
The problem with the battery is that it is charged from the alternator which is rubber belt driven. That belt brakes and you are going nowhere. I think cars should be made better than that.
Perhaps if every cylinder had a magnet and in the cylinder walls was a coil of wire. Thereby when one cylinder fired it was powering the spark for the next. Perhaps through capacitance.
Of if the concept was located on the flywheel as in an outboard motor?
You could still have an alternator charging the battery for the headlights and radio etc.
But I think the car needs a more failsafe system.

Air Compressor pumps don't last forever on a car and when they go they can break your fan belt, once that fan belt breaks your alternator won't charge the battery to create spark for the plugs and you will soon stop. Also you will likely lose power steering too. I think that you should at least be albe to keep driving slow on the back roads if this happens. And you had a charging system that isn't fan belt based.

With regard to torque ratings. Do they belong to the automobile company's or do they belong to the owner of the car who purchased it and whose personal responsibility it is to maintain it?
There will always be poor people working on cars and their own cars, why not make the highways safer by requiring those torque ratings to be provided in detail to everyone for free? Would it not save lives?
Some shops can't afford the manuals? I have seen YouTube videos made at what looks to be Dealerships whereby they are guessing on the torque ratings! For those who don't know what I am talking about, everything that is bolted in your car has to be tightened to a specified tightened value via a wrench that has a measuring device on it. Usually thought of in Foot Pounds or Inch Pounds if you are American. I think if you think of it any other way your brain is trivia redundant wired.

Batteries have lead in them and it is dangerous to human health and an environmental problem.
